Copied it for you. Hope it works.

METHOD

In a wok set over a high flame, heat half the peanut oil until just smoking. Add half the turkey mince with half of the chopped lemongrass and chilli. Quickly stir-fry, breaking up the lumps of mince, for 3-4 minutes or until the meatstarts to brown slightly

Transfer the cooked turkey mix to heat-proof bowl and repeat the process with the remaining oil, turkey, lemon grass and chilli, re-heating the wok between batches. Once both batches have book cooked, set the mix aside for 15 minutes to cool
3.
While the turkey cools, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce and lime zest in a small bowl until well combined

I missed out the rice as I can't control how much rice I eat. It just seems to make me hungry, so I avoid it!

Yes I do remember now that is more traditional and would make a very good addition.

Sounds good!

It certainly does. My mouth's watering! I like the fact that it's made from individual naturally occuring ingredients, apart from the 2 sauces which are usually obtainable everywhere.

It works out to 285 calories per serving :-D :-D :-D

I get frustrated by recipes which use items available in your location, but not mine. Then I have to search for alternatives.

Graham crackers. Nuff said! (I'm in the uk)

How many fresh chillies is that then? And what type? I can source 10 different chilli powders around me. It gets confusing
